Nikon has expanded its laser rangefinder line with the addition of its new Prostaff 7i. The pocket-sized rangefinder incorporates the company's ID (incline/decline) Technology and is designed to provide precision, speed and consistency out to 1,300 yards.

Lasergrips aren't items we typically spend much time discussing here at American Hunter—we're far more likely to leave that particular family of accessories to our colleagues at American Rifleman and Shooting Illustrated. There comes a time, though, when a product simply demands a closer look.

The evolution of sighting aids dates back to the first crude, iron sights on the matchlock firearms of the 16th century, and has morphed into the high-tech telescopic sights we all love. Laser sights—such as those produced by Crimson Trace—are an amazing tool.

Smith & Wesson has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Crimson Trace for a reported $95 million.

The founder of Crimson Trace, Lew Danielson, has officially announced his retirement. Danielson—winner of our 2015 NRA Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award—co-founded Crimson Trace in the backroom of an Oregon machine shop in 1994. It eventually grew into one of the industry's more renowned companies, and recently sold to Smith & Wesson for $95 million.
